Hello my name is Larry I’m a 45yr old truck driver. For over two years my left leg was experiencing really bad nerve pain. L4 and L5 disc was pinching my nerve. After trying every other solution myself and Dr. Ortega agreed on surgery. He replaced both disc . Honestly speaking 6 months out of surgery and it has been a blessing. Before surgery my activity was very limited due to the pain. Walking or standing for more than 30 minutes was impossible sitting even caused me pain. Now I’m back to regular activity working out taking my young kids places. Work has been so much easier. I’m grateful for Dr Ortega and his team they took such good care of me after surgery and has continued to do so.

Sanjay Khurana has been my doctor since 2010. He is VERY knowledgeable, thorough, patient and kind and is not quick to suggest surgery and/or cut. Dr. Khurana’s staff is very professional and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Sanjay Khurana.

I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery with Dr. Khurana. The improvements have gone beyond what I expected. I can go upstairs pain-free, sleep comfortably on my side, and walk with considerably less pain and much more confidence. Those everyday changes have made a real difference in how I feel and how I move through the day. His office staff is efficient and well coordinated, which made the whole process smoother. I also want to recognize his PA, Brianna Sugimoto, who responded promptly to my post-operative concerns and was a big help during recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Khurana and his team without hesitation.

Dr. Bae and the team made an excellent first impression. Dr. Bae was extremely personable, a great listener, and took the time to fully understand my concerns and answer my questions. I especially appreciated his thoughtful approach to shared decision-making—he clearly explained my options without making me feel rushed or pressured. His combination of expertise, compassion, and genuine care made me feel very comfortable and confident in his recommendations.

Hyun Bae, MD

Wonderful staff and environment, from the time you walk in the door, very professional yet friendly and personable. They were able to answer all my questions and take care of me right away! Highly recommend Dr Bae and his team!

The visit was very professional and well run. There was very little waiting. The staff was very friendly and considerate. Dr. Bhalla actually listened and we had a nice conversation. There was very little waiting and the appointment didn’t feel rushed. On top of that, I feel that I understand what is going on and what the next steps are. It was a very positive experience.

Dr. Port has been treating me for over 10 years now off and on for a back injury. He is so generous with his time and attention to my medical issues. Can't say enough good things about him and his staff. He's helped me tremendously over the years.

Michael Port, MD

Dr Bae is the best Ortho in the business!!! The office is beautiful and the staff are kind and professional. And Dr.Bae is brilliant- I’d follow his recommendations to the letter!!! Trust me and him!!

I was referred to Dr. Prem Ramkumar after a sports injury that left me needing ACL and meniscus surgery on both knees, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful that I was sent his way. From my very first appointment, Dr. Prem and his entire team made me feel like I was in the best hands. I had never been through an injury or recovery like this before, and the thought of having surgery on both knees was overwhelming. Dr. Prem walked me through everything step by step, answered every question I had, and always made sure I understood what to expect. He gave me so much confidence going into both surgeries and throughout my recovery. From pre-op, to surgery, to all of my follow-up appointments, I have felt genuinely cared for and supported. Dr. Prem is not only an incredible surgeon, but someone who truly cares about his patients and their recovery. His entire office has been wonderful as well, and that kind of support makes such a difference when you’re going through something this challenging. I still have more recovery ahead of me, but I’m so thankful for how far I’ve come and for the care I’ve received along the way. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Prem and his entire team and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dealing with a sports injury or needing orthopedic surgery.

We took our elderly mom to Dr Khurana’s office not only was he patient but very thorough in his recommendation. Since my mom was an urgent case their office worked hard to get her scheduled for surgery the same week. Kudos to Jessica from their surgerical team who handled all the paperwork seamlessly. Great experience!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

The whole staff were very friendly, helpful, professional.

GREAT TEAM! Dr. Estess is an incredible doctor and great leader. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Good location, not a hospital. Much appreciate the service and expertise.

Allyson Estess, MD

Dr. Bhalla is a warm and kind surgeon of great skill. Returning for an appointment after a few years, the new office is inviting, spotless and comfortable. And free parking! Moreover, the entire appointment was efficient (on time!) , well-organized and thorough. The staff were all friendly and professional. It was a great experience.

Amandeep Bhalla, MD

Dr. Bhalla was kind, listened to my concerns, and explained the current issues and the next steps involving my treatment . The front desk staff was friendly, and I only waited 10 minutes past my appointment time. Great experience overall!”

I could not have been more pleased with this visit. The outcome was not the one I hoped for (avoiding referral for a hip replacement), but the attention to every issue I brought up and the thorough explanation of it all left me with no unanswered questions about how to proceed. I did not go through any unnecessary diagnostic tests since the in office exam and x-rays were so in depth. I really appreciated the time spent with Dr. Garabekyan and his staff. Top notch.

Tigran Garabekyan, MD

my first appointment therefore so far so good. nice staff, clean office, and attentive albeit late doctor …

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Dr Prem N Ramkumar is an outstanding surgeon. I am so grateful for everything he did for me with my knee injury. He responded to my online request for an appointment immediately and squeezed me into his extremely busy schedule. He then scheduled me into his surgery schedule which was also extremely full. He performed an ACL, menisci, hamstring graft surgery on my left knee 11 weeks ago. He did an amazing job. It is healing and stronger than ever. He and his staff have been so supportive, helpful, positive and professional from the beginning. I would highly recommend him and his staff for knee surgery.

Dr. Bhalla is great! I've had back issues and intermittent pain throughout my adult years. Whenever it got intolerable I resorted to acupuncture and/or chiropractic care and on a few occasions epidurals. Someone cutting on my back was not anything I was receptive to. When sciatic episodes became more frequent and longer lasting and I was forced to postpone scheduled knee replacement surgery I reluctantly decided to again consult an orthopedic surgeon. After initial consultation, x-rays and MRI I had follow up appointment with Dr. Bhalla to discuss options. He recommended surgery. Still reluctant to go that route I opted for another try with an epidural, but to to no avail. Back to Dr. Bhalla who told me the problems were going to continue to get worse so at age 73 I finally agreed to surgery. Lower lumber fusion surgery was performed at Long Beach Memorial Hospital by Dr. Bhalla and Dr. Rao (vascular surgeon). Anterior Lumber Interbody Fusion (ALIF) and laminectomy surgeries were performed on Monday and Thursday of the same week. The week in the hospital (overall very good care and treatment) and first 2 weeks at home I experienced moderate pain and discomfort but nothing intolerable. After 2 weeks of light rehab at home I started physical therapy program. After several weeks of PT my back felt really good. It has been nearly one year since the surgery and other than minimal discomfort during the initial recovery period I have experienced no back pain! From the initial consultation through the post-op visits Dr. Bhalla thoroughly explained all the options, the details of the surgical procedure, the recovery and rehabilitation process and patiently answered all my questions. Dr. Bhalla is a compassionate and highly skilled physician and surgeon! And, kudos to his very competent and kind office staff. While back surgery is a last resort, if there is no other viable way to address your pain and problems Dr. Bhalla is the surgeon for you.
